Cubans Sail Towards FL In A 1948 Mercury Taxi Cab
 

A blue, 1948 Mercury automobile loaded with Cuban migrants made it within 25 miles of the Keys late Tuesday before being stopped by the U.S. Coast Guard.

The unusual, homemade 'boat' -- described by federal officials as possibly a 'taxicab' and sporting a white top -- was stopped south of Summerland Key in the Lower Keys. It was the third time in nearly two years that Cuban migrants have tried to make it to the United States using trucks or cars specially rigged to operate as boats.

If only new American cars were built to last like this one was.

They sure are winners in the perserverance and dedication categories. One of them tried it last year in a Buick. :1orglaugh

Makes you wonder if Gilligan really ever wanted to get off of that island...

Ginger or MaryAnne?

Or maybe he was into MILFs (Mrs. Howell).

The Professor certainly seemed gay.

Then again the Skipper always called Gilligan his "little buddy".

Hmm...
